My Anime Updates

Evangelion 1.01 You Are (Not) Alone First 8 Minutes

AMAZING! Can’t wait for the Blu-Ray release next year.

Bungaku Shoujo Trailer Posted

Bungaku Shoujo is another one of the movies coming from Production I.G, so I have high hopes for this. It is based off the light novel of the same name.

Go here and click flash to watch the trailer.

The story revolves around a girl, Konoha Inoue, who is the president of the literary club. But, she her self is not human, but rather a creature that feeds on stories. She rips the pages out and eats them to gain knowledge of these stories.

Currently the movie is set for release durring Japan’s Golden Week next year.

4Kids Loses $5 Million In Third Quarter

Yeah, 4Kids really did this ^

4Kids, the worst anime company in the US ever, has finally got what was coming to them. They have lost $5 Million in just 3 months, which is because they suck hair donkey balls when it comes to releasing anime in the way it is supposed to be released. BUt my complaining before didn’t make them learn, and they are coming ever so closer to the expected shut down this year.

But how do they lose that much money? Videos games and older anime watchers is how. Video games distract kids in the mornings, older anime watchers watch shows that are good, so without the 2 main people that would possibly watch their shows they license, they lose.

All I know is that this is a great step forward, FUNimation is making more money, 4Kids is losing money. Can they fix this? I don’t know. But I still would like for the people that work for them to be able to find another job somewhere, we are already having enough unemployed people.

10 Reasons Why Anime Is Better Than Amercian TV Part 2

As a continuation to yesterday’s list, here are the last five reasons.

5. Panties – What guy doesn’t like staring up a girls skirt? Well, what if I told you there was a way to look up a girls skirt, and have her hit some one else for it every time? Yeah, anime has that, all be it that they girls aren’t really, but obviously if you strive too look up a girl’s skirt, you won’t be coming near any real girls anyways. The best part is that it is completely legal sexual harassment, so by watching anime, sexual harassers will be less likely to leave their houses, and any futures daughters that I might possibly have will be safe when they go to school.

4. Anime schools – This one is obvious why, but for the uninitiated into the life of Otakuism, I will explain. Schools in anime and bad ass schools where the teachers come to school drunk, get in to gun fights, are leaders of the Yakuza, and are just all around whores from space. I bet you don’t see shit like that in American TV do you? Of course not, but I’m sure you don’t really want to see an alien teacher dating her student, but it happens none the less. Also, some anime even has a 9 year old girl harassing her teacher because she is overly knowledgeable about sex for some unknown reason that is never explained.

3. Harems – Harems are the dreams of many men. all the women are after you competing for your affection even though you have nothing really hat special about you other than the fact that you help said girls out one time back when you were like 5 years old. Whats wrong with that, I mean, yeah, you see it in most if not all romance anime. But that is what is so awesome about the nearly overused yet endlessly entertaining genre of anime. You can see what will happen if you put a bunch of girls together that all have a common goal with one of them being a psychotic bitch that tried to stab your eye out with a box cutter when you were young. Damn, that would be the life? No you say, well that’s just because you don’t have enough testosterone in your system obviously. Hell, even lesbians will like that, which is related to my next reason.

2. Yuri – Chicks making out with each other in class? Check. Said chicks living in the same dorm at a boarding school? Check. Everything set up for some hot lesbian action that you never actually see but is implied by ways of blushing at each other in the halls of said school? Check. Yes, the yuri genre of anime is truly a work of art as it shows that everywhere you go, there is a whole school of secret lesbians and they all want to hide their feelings for the student council president. This could also be interchanged with yaoi too, but since I am not a little girl around the age of 10 who fantasizes about Naruto and Sasuke kissing and having surprise buttsecks, I won’t put that as a reason totally.

And the number 1 reason is…

1. It’s Japanese - and when has Japan ever made anything bad?

…

…

…

Ok, that reason sucks because Japan makes some pretty freaky shit. Most of which I don’t really care too see. Maybe that’s why so much anime lately has been related to European stuff. Hmm…

This article was a list made to poke fun at anime and it’s fan by an anime fan. All the stuff regarding what is in anime is true, but thats why it is awesome. It’s different, and has a lot of learning value for close minded people. Also, if you yourself can’t make fun of your own hobby, you aren’t a true fan. So please don’t take this as some anti anime thing, just think about the stuff, laugh at how you know a lot of it is true, and continue watching the weird cartoons from Japan. Just remember though, skip Akikan at all cost, same goes for Fight! Ippatsu Juden Chan.

Kurokami US Blu-Ray Release To Be English Dub Only

I am hoping the Blu-Ray listing is wrong since if the English Dub sucks, I don’t want that too be my only option. But if it is right, I will have to check out the English dub of it somewhere before then.

The reason I am kinda leaning towards it being wrong is because the DVD has Japanese dub with English subs to go along with the English dub. That right there doesn’t make much sense to me since it is the smaller format.

AS for prices, the DVD will be in 4 sets for $29.99 each, and the Blu-Ray release will be in 6 sets for $24.99 each. Since you can probably get the Blu-Ray releases for $20 from some places when it release, it ends up being about the same amount of money, so I see no problem with the price, just the contents.

Oh well, it’s Bandai’s choice if it’s true, I can’t stop them. Though, I don’t mind listeing to an English only dub as long as it’s not Burst Angel English dub bad.

Currently, the Blu-Ray and DVD releases are set for February of next year.

The Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya Movie Will be 150 Minutes Long?

That is according to a Sankaku Complex at least. I’m not sure if it’s true, but I definitely hope it is.

150 Minutes is a decent amount of time for a movie. 2 hours and 30 minutes total. With the average anime episode being 20 minutes without the ending and opening, that brings it to be equal to about 7.5 episodes. So, essentially, they are making up for the 8 episodes of Endless Eight.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

That’s about all that I am thinking right now. A full movie will be awesome, especially since it is about my favorite goddess Haruhi Suzumiya, and includes my favorite alien, Yuki Nagato. How can one not be excited about this?

Currently, the movie is set for release in February of next year. So, I would expect it to be out in the US between 2010 and summer of 2011.

10 Reasons Why Anime Is Better Than Amercian TV Part 1

NOTE: Before anyone freaks out saying I am an ass hole, this is just for fun. But realize this, all those things I say are true at least regarding the contents of anime.

Anime fans have long since announced that American TV is horrible and that anime is the best. Well, I have the 10 reason for why it is better.

10. Boobs – You don’t see huge boobs that defy gravity on TV in the US now do you. In anime, you see boobs that are like, proportionally incorrect to the point that they would break the owners back in real life. And since we all know that people like those giant bags of flesh, it makes anime better.

9. Plots that make little too no sense - The US may have Lost and FlashForward, but anime fans have FLCL, DBZ, and others that make no sense plot wise. Anime is better in this respect because it can make you go WTF, and it will never answer your questions. American TV shows answer your questions, so you are happy with the ending. Who wants that when you can be a real manly woman or manly man and just deal with no real ending?

8. It gives you something in common with the kids that want to kill their class mates - Haven’t you ever wanted to go up to the kid that never talks and just have a conversation with him/her? Well, if you watch anime, you can. Just mention Death Note and he/she will pull out his very own custom made one that he/she may have written your name in. I know a crazy person like that, and it makes me unhappy to know that I have communicated with him. He threatens to kill people everyday, but at the same time, it is much more interesting than talking about Flash Forward.

7. Incest – Haven’t you ever wanted to watch a show where little sisters were in love with their older brothers? Probably not, but have you ever seen one on American TV? NO! You, you haven’t. So, anime is also better because it has things you don’t really want to see and hear about and we all know the more disturbing a subject is, the better.

6. Tentacles – Another obvious reason why anime is better than American TV is that anime villain that are monsters always have tentacles. These tentacles aren’t in American TV now are they? Nope, I don’t think so. And for some reason, in anime, they tend to hover near or on the boobs of the ladies. I have no idea why, they just do. Haven’t you ever wanted to see tentacles on boobs? No, but now you can, even if it is disturbing too you.

Part 2 will come later today or tomorrow morning.

Things That Make Me Go WTF: Yoga That Made Me Die A Little On The Inside

The fact that people like this guy can get a job makes me wondering just what the hell people are thinking. I can’t even get a job and I’m not a pedophile like this guy obviously is.

Media Blasters Gets Queen’s Blade And Ikkitousen: Great Guardians

I’m not 100% sure how to react to this. On one hand, Queen’s Blade was one title I never expected anyone to license, so I am happy to see the least likely titles starting to get licensed, on the other hand, Queen’s Blade is supposed to be kinda bad, not horrible, just not great. According to some online, Queen’s Blade only has the huge boobs going for it, but others seem to think it is a good show for other things. I myself haven’t watched it, but I might give it a try eventually. Both seasons were licensed.

Ikkitousen is something i do know a little a about, at least from the game I do. Having played the PSP game before, I know that the girls clothes tend to disintegrate while fighting. They eventually end up in only bras and underwear. Don’t ask me why this happens, as i don’t know, but that is in the anime also. But, the anime also has a story that people say is relatively interesting too, and the first 2 season of it are already out in the US, so apparently someone liked it.

Oh well, at least the anime industry in the US is getting better.

Currently, both anime are set to be out before the summer of next year and will come with English dubs.

Name Change!

Crayon-Shin Chan Going On Until February

Well, more chapters were discovered of Shin-Chan, so it won’t be ending this month after all. I myself am surprised it will be going on for so long considering the author is dead.

Right now, more chapters will be coming out until February.

More chapters should make fans happy, or it just might make them feel worse because every time they are almost out of the stress of waiting, more things happen. But, either way, there will always be more manga out there to read.
